Caring, responsible pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I've spent the last 21 years of my life dedicated to caring for animals, from rescues to purebreds. I am also experienced with training dogs. I currently have two friendly service dogs and friendly cats who interact with dog frequently. They've all have a home in my heart. I have always enjoyed helping people as much as I can especially when it comes to caring for their animals. This is the perfect opportunity for me because I am an experienced dog lover, trainer, and trustworthy professional. I love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love fur babies!

After my first week having Roderick come every day to walk Beau he has exceeded my expectations. He always sends me the most adorable pictures from their walks and he even worked with him on obedience training!

I so wish I could give more stars unfortunately 5 is the max. Roderick took care of my baby like the King he is! This is the very 1st time I felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with anyone. The home was clean and cozy which is what my doggy is used to. Roderick was very responsive and was definitely a pet lover. Outstanding service.

Roderick was extremely proffessional and loving with both my sweet fur babies. He helped with some of their obedience training and in two days we already see a huge improvement on our dogs obedience! Roderick will be my go-to sitter anytime my pups need watching.

I have two friendly dogs that can keep your fur baby’s entertained and a dog park within 2 miles of my home. Perfect for dogs with high energy.

Information Roderick G. would like to know about your pet

1) If he or she is potty trained. 2)Will they bite. 3) What is the normal routine for the dog? ( Such as when does the dog normally go for a walk?, when do they feed the dog (morning, evenings, free feed? How do you put the dog to bed at night? 4) How long is the dog normally left alone or how long can you leave the dog alone for? 5) What are the house rules for the dog? ( is he allowed on the couch? what rooms can he go into?) 6) What kind of commands does the dog know? ( sit? stay? wait?) 7) Does the dog have good recall? ( This is does the dog come when it is called?) 8) What are some bad habbits the dog has? 9) What kind of treats is ok for the dog? Is he allergic to any foods? 10) Is there anything that the dog is afraid of or will set him or she off? ( The dog I doggie sat did not like bikes and would try to attack the bike (not the rider) when he saw the bike. So I knew to take extra procaution when around bikes or all together avoid that situation.) Is the dog okay with other dogs/animals/people?

A typical day

I love to train animals. From potty training to sit, shake, stay, lay down, come here and more. I'm a strong believer in a health active dog. Trips to the dog park is a great way to exercise and learn environment behavioral traits of your dog. If there not so good with other dogs but still enjoy the company of other people Buffalo Bayou is a great out doors walking trail with minimal dogs.
